Launcher7 v1.1.14.11 Apk Android

Written By Andrew F Lester on Tuesday, September 25, 2012 | 3:00 PM

The Winphone 7 lookalike launcher, almost like the real thing and in some ways even better!

Features:

- 1x1, 2x1 and 1x2 tiles with configurable colors

- Widgets in a tile! (provided that widget fits)

- Almost real like tile animation

- Almost real like tile re-arrange mode

- Almost real like status bar

- Animated contacts tile (supports G+ synced contacts)

- Pinnable contact-tile which animates like the real phone

- Folder tiles

- Webpage tiles

- Picture hub (use with care, it needs memory!!!!)

- Filterable application list

- Stock wp7-like colors and color selection

FAQ:

- ICS may suffer from lagginess :( It is the ICS hardware deceleration and way L7 draws bitmaps that is causing it.

- Real view widget tiles may cause jerky scrolling, framework is performing garbage collection at most inconvenient time, there is currently no known cure.. I haven't yet given up hope finding one though

- PICTURE HUB NEEDS A LOT OF MEMORY! IF YOU ENCOUNTER PROBLEMS, STOP USING THE TILE - THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE MEMORY FOOTPRINT SMALLER, OR INCREASE MEMORY ON YOUR DEVICE

- Initial setup may be broken depending on your phone manufacturer, you probably need to replace the tiles

- To add new application to main screen, long press on an application in application drawer and select "pin to home screen"

- Filtered apps can be restored from the launcher settings fitered apps page

- Tiles can be made transparent by adjusting the alpha value from the horizontal bar on the color selector

- All bitmaps must fit inside 48 megabyte heap (high-end phones, lower-end phones even less than that), so don't try to use too many 25 megabyte bitmaps on your tiles or you will see FC.

- Gmail tile will not work anymore, use Mail tile instead

- By default WP7 statusbar shows icons only if you touch it. You can adjust the functionality from statusbar options

- "Smaller tiles" will make 1x1 tile to 172x172 pixels in HDPI resolution. I managed to measure the tiles wrong when I started developing L7 and tiles have been too big ever since. 172x172 tiles seem to be faster too, so I suggest you to try them!
